Waiting on Wednesday features Halfway to Harmony by Barbara O'Connor. Ms. O'Connor is the author of a few TMS favorites such as, How to Steal a Dog and Wish, though my personal favorite is The Small Adventure of Popeye and Elvis. She's a middle grade author who doesn't waste a word. Her books are short, accessible and aim straight for the heart. Here's the publisher's synopsis for Halfway to Harmony, which is due out January 12, 2021.
"Walter Tipple is looking for adventure. He keeps having a dream that his big brother, Tank, appears before him and says, “Let’s you and me go see my world, little man.” But Tank went to the army and never came home, and Walter doesn’t know how to see the world without him.
Then he meets Posey, the brash new girl from next door, and an eccentric man named Banjo, who’s off on a bodacious adventure of his own. What follows is a summer of taking chances, becoming braver, and making friends—and maybe Walter can learn who he wants to be without the brother he always wanted to be like."
